The Cannon Run - who organised the jaunt for the trio - confirmed on their Facebook page the group had returned home.

The post said: "Fantastic motoring news.

"The GTR Boys Dave, Julian and Ade have been released from Swiss custody and are now at home with their vehicles.

"A team of close friends and family went out to Switzerland to bring the lads and the cars back home."

Speaking previously to the Post when it emerged the trio had been locked up for eight weeks, James Cannon, chief executive of Cannon Run and friend of the men, denied the accusations made against them.

He said: "No road racing was involved at all, it was a driving holiday where the men took a tour across Switzerland.

"The Swiss police are trying to call it a race, only because of how the cars look, they have a lot of stickers and designs on them. They simply wouldn’t race. Our clientele is predominately the 40 to 60 year old age gap.

"The men who took on this trip have a genuine interest in motoring. They all have families at home. they’re all so distraught about it. They’re not the sort of people to spend a night in the cells."

A Foreign Office spokesman previously told the Post they were aware of the situation and were providing support to the men and their families.
